Notes of the Black Piano Keys. Black piano keys are called accidentals; these are the sharps and flats of the piano. On the keyboard, there are five black accidentals per octave. A sharp makes a note a half step higher in pitch. A flat makes a note a half step lower in pitch. On the keyboard, a noteâs flat is the black key directly to its left.
Grand Jury. Federal jurors are paid $40 a day. Jurors can receive up to $50 a day after serving 45 days on a grand jury. (Employees of the federal government are paid their regular salary in lieu of this fee.) Jurors also are reimbursed for reasonable transportation expenses and parking fees.
How long is jury service? Jurors who do not sit on a jury trial may serve for as little as 1â2 days. However, even if not needed for a trial, a juror may be asked to be available or on call for up to five days. Those who are selected to serve on a jury are required to serve on only one trial. The judge informs the jurors how long the trial is expected to last. Length of service on a grand jury may vary from two weeks to a month or more. For more information about service as a grand juror see the Unified Court Systemâs âGrand Jurorâs Handbook.â Are jurors paid? The jury fee is $40 per day. If service extends beyond 30 days the court may authorize an additional $6 per day per juror. The fee is paid by the State or the employer depending on (1) the day of service and (2) the size of employer. Employersâ jury fee obligations are explained below.
